33 are still undecided? Hoping those are people that don't want to publicly say they are a no.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Nothing shady in not releasing it before a vote. Looks like the house just wants to say "see we passed something, its the senate's fault!"

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

I hope if it passes it hurts the Trump voter the most. I want it to hurt. This is what you get by voting for this guy without doing some fucking research.

My rep is Ted Cruz, lol.

That is self explanatory.

Seems like other folks should be doing research.

 

[Kevinroc]

For all that is good and holy, this bill needs to fail.

Spoiler

I don't know what good calling my Rep. will do. My liberal Democratic representative isn't voting for this piece of crap bill.

 

[Jeffrey]

So if they somehow get the votes. Senate will completely rewrite it and when it goes back the cycle will continue?

And somehow everyone that voted yes or no, will be hated?

Who wins from all of this lol.

Just call anyways

I was talking about researching Trump, not congress. Nice try though.

Call.

They are emboldened to fight partly because of the outpouring of support they've been getting.

Cruz is not your House rep...

That was his point.

 

[Metroidvania]

.....I'm forgetting the exact date, but reconciliation is over, yes?

Because if it's not over that, this dies on the senate floor, and while that may temporarily bolster GOP voters in the 'Dems are holding back progress' optics, that's not gonna last for long, as soon as the CBO report hits.

Unless McKonnell goes super-nuclear, but I don't think I see him doing that just yet.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Chances this passes Senate?

None. That's why they have the votes in The House

 

[Quixzlizx]

Hm, interesting.

So is this all political theater, or will Spineless Mitch actually kill the filibuster?

Make. Their. Phones. Ring. Off. The. Hook. Your healthcare or your neighbors healthcare is on the line. The capitol needs to be lit.

 

[toddhunter]

"Let's be optimistic about life" is a helluva thing to say regarding this thing.

It sounds better then the official republican anthem "fuck you, but we'll be fine lol"

Reassuring for now, but we'll see if his tune changes.

You know Cheeto Benito will change his tune if this dies in the Senate.

 

[Robdraggoo]

19 no's? so so they need 5 more to kill this thing?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

19 no's? so so they need 5 more to kill this thing?

Four more. 22 is death iirc.

What happens to pre existing condition people like me? (if it passes)

I'm not going to sugar coat it. Your rates will skyrocket to levels you cannot afford and you'll likely have no insurance.

With 33 undecided. Sounds more like its not going to pass.

 

[Oddish1]

Welp my Rep isn't taking any calls and her voice mail is full so I guess there's not much I can do. She's die hard ACA repeal though so I doubt any number of calls is going to change her mind anyway.

 

[moggio]

What happens to pre existing condition people like me? (if it passes)

You're fucked

 

[Rodeo Clown]

What happens to pre existing condition people like me? (if it passes)

You're going to be placed in a high risk pool and any insurance you can get (bearing in mind companies will have the right to not insure you) will be crazy expensive.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

What happens to pre existing condition people like me? (if it passes)

You get put into a "high risk" pool, to where they can charge you tens of thousands for insurance.

 

[Ithil]

Every "Yes" vote needs to be branded to that congressman forever.

 

[boingball]

The vote will be pushed to Friday, calling it now.

and on Friday it will be pulled?

 

[CrocMother]

What happens to pre existing condition people like me? (if it passes)

It depends on what State you live in, if I understand correctly.

People in Deep Red states with pre-existing conditions will have a greater chance of being fucked.

 

[adamsappel]

So you want Trump voters to die to teach them a lesson?

 

[giga]

Don't see the Senate passing this, but see y'all in 2020. There will be blood.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Don't see the Senate passing this, but see y'all in 2020. There will be blood.

What about special elections and 2018?

Yes I am in Utah and have type 1 diabetes considering the bullshit they pulled with Medicaid expansion in Utah I'm SO fucked.

 

[Ithil]

You mean 2018, when the House members voting tomorrow are all up for reelection.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Right? This is when we start replacing these monsters.

 

[giga]

What about special elections and 2018?

Right, that too.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I've been calling, writing emails and comments on my rep's website. She always gives shitty canned responses each time. Fuck Mimi Walters.

I'll be doing the same thing for this as well.

If this still passes, then fuck the Trump supporters. I do actually hope that if they are left uncovered due to their vote, that they die. They wanted this, so please by all means, take it. It sucks bad for people who didn't support this.

If by some cosmic joke it passes both houses and is signed into law by President Trump, there will be a time period where nothing changes as health insurance companies will base their policies around the incoming law changes. Your current health insurance provider will hopefully give you their version of good faith options - maybe even grandfather you in if you're really lucky.

If you don't have health insurance currently, you'll probably be greeted with super shitty healthcare options that don't cover what you need it to, given that any better insurance will undoubtedly not want to take you because you'll actually use said insurance.

No one really knows for sure because we aren't exactly sure what is actually in the law yet beyond the big ticket items.

 

[smokeymicpot]

What about special elections and 2018?

People easily forget.

 

[FireBeaver]

This is the list of undecided Congressmen. If any of them are your state representative please call them.

[Y2Kev]

Why would you spoiler that

 

[Iolo]

The vote will be pushed to Friday, calling it now.

House is not scheduled to be in session on Friday (recess), that is why they are voting Thursday.

 

[BitStyle]

Please don't pass the house.

This bullshit is tiring. Working so hard just to fuck people over

 

[McBryBry]

Called Bost's office today, plan on having my girlfriend do it as well considering this bill will truly fuck her.

 

[Zolo]

I don't see why people who would be worried about a CBO would want to change to a 'yes'. Voting 'yes' now won't stop any more blowback than it would if it was already released.

 

[Y2Kev]

Defederalizing of Medicaid is scary. But this means a tax cut so...

 

[Inyourprime]

lol. Ready to die on this hill again. Okay. I'll call Graves again but last I checked he's been "on the fence" or "still reviewing" the details or my personal favorite just hasn't given an answer.

*shrug* He's a piece of shit so I'm pretty sure he is voting yes anyway.

 

[EatinOlives]

My money's on the vote getting delayed, then tabled again.

 

[Journeywalker]

Call them and ask for them to try to convince other representatives from your state that they should vote "no."

 

[Diablos]

You're going to be placed in a high risk pool and any insurance you can get (bearing in mind companies will have the right to not insure you) will be crazy expensive.

So the AHCA encourages companies to not insure people with pre existing conditions?

 

[Rebel Leader]

From what i hea, the states decide


So yes

Oh shoot, I live in the same district as that guy. I need to go call him right away, I forgot that he was apparently undecided about the vote.

It's up to the states! Isn't that great! Everyone wins!
